Current market trends concerning firearms and ammo

Okay...here we go. In response to the 'people effect', (my term for the thread 'The Obama Effect'), I was wondering very seriously. Does anyone think that given the current panic buying mode some of the nation is in, that there is the remote possibility that manufacturers of arms and manufacturers of ammunition will be cutting corners, running products past QA, and getting sub standard products out the door to keep up with or meet current demands? I know....I'm probably the only one to think up such a crazy idea right? Just come out and tell me then. Do you think sub standard products will fill the market in light of the current demand in order for manufacturers to keep up and make profits?

"He went on two legs, wore clothes and was a human being, but nevertheless he was in reality a wolf of the Steppes. He had learned a good deal . . . and was a fairly clever fellow. What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life. The cause of this apparently was that at the bottom of his heart he knew all the time (or thought he knew) that he was in reality not a man, but a wolf of the Steppes."

Stick with the name brands and everything will be fine...Glock, Sig, S&W, Bushmaster, etc are not going to ruin their reputations by making substandard products. It would cost them way more in the long run. Reputation for quality is HUGE in firearms...that should say it all.

How many people do you know that when asked what the best handgun is would answer Hi-Point?

Imagine for a minute that someone like Glock decided to start churning out crappy products to meet demand.

The next thing you know, you'd be hearing stories like "Police officer dies after Glock fails to fire". After a few of those, nobody would buy one.
